What is the best reservoir that you have seen for splitting the IC system?
As the title says, I am looking for the best reservoir/bracket setup for splitting the IC system off the cooling system that fits in the engine bay and looks reasonably OEM.
There are two ways to do this, a small reservoir that it teed in down low and requires a manual bleed of the system. Or a recirculating setup that has a return to the reservoir from the bleed nipple off the SC to allow flow some flow through the reservoir and self bleed any air out of the system.
Actually, a third way would be a reservoir that is in full circulation lie the trunk mounted units but that would be of little benefit for a small under hood application.
Thoughts?

Let's play a little game..
Let's play the "Spot the Cooling circuit overflow reservoir"... That will tell us how OEM looking it is..

Hmmm.. I just thought of something...
Hey.. Anyone that buys the complete VRP CF Engine bay kit gets a free OEM cooling circuit overflow reservoir! How's that for a deal? I crack myself up sometimes... I really do..
